Director of Engineering

InCommon is managing the hiring process for this role.

About the company and the role:

We’re helping a US-based healthtech company build its founding India engineering team. The company is focused on improving care for low-income patients with complex needs — blending in-person, virtual, and 24/7 care with their own tech and care teams. They partner with community providers and health plans to deliver primary, behavioral, and social care as a seamless experience.

This role is core to that mission — leading a growing engineering team to build high-impact systems that rewire healthcare delivery through AI and thoughtful technology.

What you’ll do

• Own the day-to-day of engineering delivery across multiple projects
• Translate complex healthcare workflows into scalable product and tech decisions
• Partner closely with Product, Clinical Ops, and other teams to define and ship the right things fast
• Maintain a high bar for engineering velocity, quality, and culture — balancing speed vs. debt
• Help build and mentor a team of 12+ engineers (across backend, data, and platform)
• Lead agile processes: sprint planning, retrospectives, and execution reviews
• Define and track engineering metrics and continuous improvement efforts

You should have

• 12+ years of engineering experience, with 5+ years in leadership roles
• Hands-on experience scaling teams and production systems in fast-moving environments
• Comfort across backend systems – Go, Scala, Java preferred
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across tech and non-tech stakeholders
• Experience in healthcare is a plus, but not required

Why this role matters

• You’ll shape the tech that enables better outcomes for underserved patients
• You’ll work across domains — clinical, operations, data — in a team that values impact over noise
• You’ll help define engineering culture and ways of working from the ground up
